Characterising the 3D distribution of canopy chlorophyll content using dual-wavelength laser scanning to better quantify vegetation health

Scholarship Host

The scholarship is hosted by the University of Southampton, specifically within the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences. It focuses on leveraging dual-wavelength laser scanning to study the 3D distribution of canopy chlorophyll and its link to vegetation health, supervised by Prof. J Dash, Dr. J Nield, and Dr. Luke Brown.

Eligibility Criteria

(i) Applicants must have a UK bachelor’s degree with Upper Second-Class Honours or higher in a relevant subject. International equivalents are accepted.

(ii) English proficiency is required, with a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 overall (and at least 6.0 in all components) or equivalent test results.

(iii) International applicants are encouraged to contact the lead supervisor before applying.

Benefits

(i) Access to state-of-the-art facilities, including the IRIDIS supercomputer, laboratory suites, and Wytham Woods research site.

(ii) Comprehensive training in terrestrial laser scanning, chlorophyll measurement, high-performance computing, and research methods.

(iii) Opportunities for professional development and collaboration with academic, research, and industrial networks.

Scholarship Deadline
